Chateau de Saint Cosme Gigondas Red Wine, 75cLBy Winebuyers

1 x 75cl. The producer, Chateau de Saint Cosme, has a long history dating back to the 15th century, with the modern era beginning in 1992 when Louis Barruol took control and started bottling their own wine. The estate, with 15 hectares of very old vineyards surrounding the chateau, produces wines that have transformed the appellation. Saint Cosme makes four single vineyard wines in Gigondas – Valbelle, Le Claux, Hominis Fides, and Le Poste – all reflecting different parts and soils on the estate and offering an extraordinary reflection on the complexity and beauty of the best of Gigondas. Valbelle and Hominis Fides fruit is grown in sand and limestone soils, whereas Le Claux is from centenarian vines in gravel and clay soil, and Le Poste from 50-year-old vines in limestone and marl soil. Chateau de Saint-Cosme also runs a negociant business, making wine from other parts of the Rhone Valley, from purchased fruit. This wine is suitable for both men and women.
